Practicing yoga makes me feel sincerely happy and grounded in a busy everyday life. I first came across yoga when I moved to London in 2001 to study at university, moving from a small town in northern Norway called Bodo.  Having played football for more than 10 years, yoga was a completely different experience to the competitive environment we find in most sports.  I soon found myself trying out a variety of different styles of yoga, and was amazed how much there is to learn about yoga, whatever level you are practicing at and whatever style of yoga you practice. And I am so grateful for some of the amazing teachers I have met along the way, some of which I still continue to learn from.

Over the years yoga have become part of my daily life and I practice Ashtanga Yoga and Vinyasa Flow Yoga, and I am also now exploring restorative yoga. I love the familiar sequence of Ashtanga Yoga, and this is something I always come back to. However, the great variety of sequences in Vinyasa Flow Yoga I find is a great way to explore new postures and ever-changing flows. And for restorative yoga, that is such a great place to calm and restore the body using various props in passive yoga postures.

As for teaching, I completed my 200 hrs Vinyasa Flow Yoga teacher training with Yoga London in 2012, and have been teaching yoga  in London until 2013. I am now based in Oslo where I teach Vinyasa Flow Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga.
